Electronic "Working Remotely" Sign (alien.top)

This may be the completely wrong place to be asking. But, has anyone ever seen any sort of DIY LED sign, remotely configurable sort of project? I'm thinking a sign that can sit on my desk at the office that if I end up working remotely that day I can update it to reflect that to my coworkers (I get a lot of visitors per day from different departments asking questions) so they know they can still contact me via Teams? Apologies if this isn't the right place for this.

through HACS you can set up the HASS agent for your pc. Work probably won't want it on their computuer, but if you run teams/slack on your home pc, you can configure sensors for all kinds of stuff. including a powershell script result. or an active process. You can configure it to when teams/slack is running on your PC during work hours, Your remote working light turns on. or something like that.
